This is it. I am actually leaving. Right now. I’m sitting in Heathrow Airport, waiting to board my plane to Mumbai and then onto Bangkok.

As you all know, I leave for my next big adventure around the world tomorrow evening and I honestly couldn’t be more excited. So for those you about to embark on something similar, I thought I’d let you know my top items that I’m taking with me to make with this trip just that little … More Top 5 Friday: Items to Pack on a RTW Trip
I’ve briefly touched upon this topic in recent posts, but I wanted to go into more detail and provide a bit more help in what can be quite a confusing travel area – what to do when getting vaccinations and visas for different countries around the world.
